banana french toast

The family has loved the 'Fronch Toast' recipe out of Vegan With a Vengeance, so when I saw 'Banana Rabanada' in Vegan Brunch, we had to give it a try. It is French Toast with bananas and cocoa. Now those two are a match made in heaven, so this recipe was bound to be great.

It was. Very simple to make. The only problem I had was with my cast-iron griddle - I should have used a little more fat to keep them from sticking. The sugar in the bananas were caramelizing the toast and making them stick too much.

Ok, I challenge you to make eggs benedict in such a way that it looks like what it's supposed to but is vegan. You seem to be able to do anything else, doggonit. Heck, you've probably already done this! :)

Bananas and chocolate are devine! And since the maple syrup and the cocoa mix and make a syrup as well, less maple is needed.

Perfect Combo!

Challenge Accepted!

The Benedict is already posted :)

Look under the 'English Muffin' label to the right. Second one down. The yolk does not run like that of a poached egg (let's face it; tofu has no yolk), but the Hollandaise is pretty spot on, and the egg flavor is evident.

aquafaba tid bits

If you are using homemade aquafaba make sure it is nice and thick and viscous. If you are using canned aquafaba, reduce it by 1/3 before using to get the right consistency. Strain the aquafaba before using; warm aquafaba strains better because it is thinner. Aquafaba thickens as it cools.
